The most beautiful rose in the world
Comments (63)And I would have to add that "The Most Beautiful Rose" title belongs to more than one rose . . . Because as with Real Estate, roses and other growing things are dependent upon "LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION." So, while I truly believe that 'Evelyn' is The Most Beautiful Rose in Patrick's 6B conditions, and (per the late Col Mel Hulse) 'Souvenir de la Malmaison' is The Most Beautiful Rose in San Jose, CA's 9B conditions . . . NEITHER is beautiful here, in my Sunset Zone 23 garden, SdlM mildews so badly, no bloom opens. And Evelyn? She's so happy that she has to grow to between 12 and 14 ft. before she deigns to set a bloom. So, what IS The Most Beautiful Rose in my garden? Danged if I know. I guess, what ever's blooming today? This was 'Golden Celebration' last night, however . . ....See Moreanybody else have a new dishwasher that stays wet inside?
Comments (151)As others have said, a drying agent, like Jet Dry or Rinse-Aid, is a must. Running the hot water in your sink before starting the dishwasher so that hot water is in the pipes as the dishwasher begins to fill. Finally, cracking open the door once the drying cycle is complete helps as well so that the steam can escape. I've had a Miele since 2015 and, at the time after reading reviews, the reason I purchased it was because it automatically cracks open the door at the end of the drying cycle. I've never had any drying issues with it. At the time it was the only dishwasher that opened the door automatically but I believe more brands do that now....See MoreWho makes the final decisions in your home?
Comments (21)Just a little update.... Things are much better between my friend and her boyfriend. We've determined he was under a LOT of stress that week and it had to do with a lot more than just moving. They're working things out and getting along. I'm happy for them. I just know they have a ton to learn about each other because they seemed to not take the time to learn the little pidly stuff you pick up about each other while dating and things. I don't know if they ever just chat about crap like my fiance' and I do or not. I also have to say that the suggestion of HelenofMichigan would not have helped. I've gotten to the point in my life where I know telling someone what to do, especially during a major life changing event like this, will do me no good. This same friend's mother used to ask why on earth I couldn't convince her daughter to leave this guy (she never gave him a chance). The answer is, it's her life, I'm just here to be there for her when she needs someone to lean on and to answer questions if I can. I can't MAKE her do anything! She will learn on her own. She's very headstrong about things and me telling her to run back home would probably have cause major problems with our friendship and we're trying to patch over some stuff that happened before. People learn lessons by doing in most cases. I've been telling her all along while people are trying to break her and this guy up that if they were meant to be together, they will be. If something happens and they decide it's not working she will understand and be able to move on a lot easier than just because she did something because someone told her to. I wish them the best of luck really and I see some major improvements on both they're part that I didn't see months ago. ~Leslie~...See MoreOT - The World Cup
Comments (148)by Martin//And in one of those little ironies - the year the World Cup returns to Italy is the year that Juventus, Lazio, Fiorentina and AC Milan are implicated in the biggest match-fixing scandal of all time. I know you personally are upset about it Grelobe, and my sympathies are with you. What I was curious about is - what's the feeling "on the street", so to speak? Do most people feel that they've been caught red-handed, and deserve their punishment? Or do people feel that it's all a bit much?\\ And, if you don't mind me asking - who do you personally support? How does it affect you directly? First of all, sorry if I am late, but it is because I usually spend my week ends at the sea side. How is the feeling "on the street" ,it is a question to which is rather difficult to answer. Because I think we (Italians) have some good qualities, but one difect we have for sure, (of course more than one but..) we are always ready to join the winner's side; we say " to climb up the winner's cart". For instance, before the World Cup started our team gathered at Coverciano, somewhere in Tuscany, to start their training. Well, people would go over there not to support them, but for yelling things like: you son of b... or, go to do a real work or, you are only piece of s..... This because, a few players , especially Cannavaro our captain, at the outset of the scandal backed the way of acting kept by his executive's team (juventus). Polls showed that the majority demanded Lippi resignation (our coach) , this also if Lippi is not directly involved in the scandal, but his son is. He, Lippi's son with Moggi's son, rules one company that "trades" players and coaches, and this company was so powerfull that could even effected other teams market-players; for instance Inter F.C some time plays with 11, I say it again, eleven foreign players , and this because "Gea" the compnay rule by Moggi and Lippi's sons didn't let promising Italian football player to be enrolled by Inter F.C. To answer your question Martin , I dare say that normal people think the punishment is well deserved (less Juve, Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina's supporters of course) :) This because this way to act, not only effects direct rivals , like Inter, Rome , Lazio itself and others, but also other teams. I'm tryng to explain: Janalyn you ask how it is possible to fix a match without getting involve players. Martin has already answered you in part, but referees can do other things. Let's do an example, today there's Juve vs X and Bologna vs Y , and next turn will be Juve vs Bologna. So today, Bologna vs Y referee can shows a yellow or better a red card to the better Bologna's midlefield or striker, so Juve will have an easier way next turn, and in this way Bologna is damaged twice. Besides as I already said Moggi and Lippi's sons are the manager of a great number of skilled players and other players not so skilled , so......See More
